LONDONI

R&D 2022-2023​

 

Our resident artist Seema Khalique led a 12-week R&D project with Bangladeshi migrants. Londoni, is a collection of stories and photographs of a generation of Bangladeshi migrants from the 50’s - 70’s.

 

The works address the juxtaposition of escaping genocide during the Bangladesh Liberation War to a new life in a foreign country defined this generation and the British Bangladeshis, like the artist that were born here after. This project addresses the silence in history of this transition and honours a generation that were pivotal in creating the multicultural society the UK enjoys today.

Londoni is in partnership with Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund, supported by Westfield Stratford City and Foundation for Future London.
